For the fans of Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, here's a good news for you. Sega Corporation, a Japanese multinational video game developer, publisher and hardware development company had acquired the developer Atlus. Announcing the deal, Sega said it will "gain access to prominent IPs" and "can expect to achieve steady flows of revenue."

Assistant director of design Aidan Scanlan and community manager Jessica Merizan chimed in with positive statements about the progress made so far on the game. Describing the game's progress in July, cinematic director Ken Thain said, "This sh**'s gettin' real!" Though BioWare is enthused by the progress the next Mass Effect is making, the public won't get to see the game for some time, according to BioWare Montreal studio director Yanick Roy.
"Sadly, it probably will still be a while before we show anything publicly," hesaid. BioWare announced the next Mass Effect game last September. It will not feature Commander Shepard, as his story came to a close in last year'sMass Effect 3. The untitled game will run on the Frostbite 3 engine and, according to Hudson, will be "fresh and new."
